The news of a pregnancy or a recent birth is an exciting time for all prospective and existing parents. It can, however, be cruelly interrupted by the news of a cancer diagnosis and the worry that this brings to both you and your wider family.
Mummy’s Star has been set up specifically to offer support if you find yourself in this situation and we hope that by providing comprehensive information and links in this section, it will help you to get the support you need, access services that are available to you but most importantly know that you are not alone when you are going through this.
The information contained here is reviewed on an ongoing basis and will also be added to as new information becomes known about cancer in pregnancy. Likewise, as we receive more enquiries, we will add to the FAQs section in order to be able to try and answer as many of your questions in one place as possible.
Please contact us here and we can discuss more specifically how we can support you and your family.

WORKPLACE ENTITLEMENT ADVICE
Making it easier to understand what support you are entitled to at work
As a charity one of our aims is to make it easier for families to be able to understand the changing circumstances they face and this can include amongst other things, changes to benefits due to being off work either earlier or for longer than maternity leave provides.
In addition, we campaign for the easier transference of maternity rights in the unfortunate event that a partner may pass away.
Your employment rights are protected while on paternity leave. This includes your right to:
-
Pay rises.
-
Build up (accrue) holiday.
-
Return to work.
